Ingredients

Caesar Dressing

  • 1 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 ½ tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. water (more for looser dressing)
  • 1 ½ tsp. fresh lemon juice (if using store bought, use a bit less)
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp. capers
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Croutons

  • 12 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegan Chick'n

  • 10-15 vegan chick'n strips of choice
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

For the Caesar dressing:

  1. Combine the ingredients for the Caesar in a blender, adding water until you reach the desired consistency.

For the croutons:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit. 

  2. Cut the slices of bread into approximately 1-2 inch cubes. 

  3. Put the bread into a large bowl and add the olive oil and seasonings, mixing through so that all the pieces are coated evenly.

  4. Evenly spread croutons on a tray and bake for about 5 minutes each side, checking periodically until they are browned to your liking. 

For the vegan chick'n:

  1. Add the olive oil to a pan and bring to medium heat. 

  2. Add the chick'n strips and cook on each side, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until cooked through and the outsides are a bit browned.
